The STAR of All Stars
Since man’s advancement in the respective sciences have been such a slow process—particularly in the publishing of magazines that compares and contrasts human beings in their eloquent looks, abilities and accomplishments achieved through the doors of research laboratories—it nevertheless prevented Christ from becoming a participant in the billboard chart of a well reputed sports magazine. Not because He is not worthy to be stamped as the greatest man of all times but it occurs by the works of the Holy Spirit who suppressed the pride of the magazine’s chief executive while also using it as a another medium by which the name of JESUS has been lifted up in order to serve as a testimony even unto the most atheistic mind.
If most of the current magazines were already in circulation during the first century era, Christ would have been the most effortlessly published human being of all centuries. HE would have been the top contender as:
-
The incomparable superhuman in SUPERhuman
